Welcome to our first edition of 2008. We hope that you had a joyful festive season - and that you are well rested and ready to take your business to new heights!

January is always the time for making New Year's resolutions. We may want to start a new exercise routine to shed some unwanted kilos, or we may want to take a bold step and reinvent ourselves with a new look. In this issue, we are going to set you on the path to health by looking at the benefits of Nutrilite vitamins, as well as show our female readers how to use make-up to create the right look for the right occasion.

At the beginning of a new year, many of us make a conscious decision to realise our dreams. We feel refreshed, and are highly motivated to make a success of our Amway business.

In our enthusiasm to build our business, however, we should not lose sight of the fact that we have to follow the Amway Rules of Conduct. In this month's issue, we are going to explore why IBOs may not participate in promotional activities (such as letter box drops, mass mailings and telephone canvassing campaigns). As we all know, the Amway business is people orientated. Therefore, we should avoid impersonal methods of communication and rather focus on building good personal relationships with our customers.

So, in 2008, let's aim to provide the best service possible and show people why Amway is a leader in its field.
